GHOST STORIES!

Where? Coyle Free Library
Who can come? Teens & Adults are invited
What is the cost? IT IS FREE!
About Alan: Many years ago, Alan Irvine worked as a camp counselor in the Louisiana pine woods. One night, after lights out, he needed to do something to pass the time until the kids in the cabin fell asleep. Thinking back, he remembered a ghost story he heard years ago. When he told the story, something clicked; the kids in the cabin liked it and clamored for more. From that point on, Alan continued to tell stories in the cabin after lights out, around bonfires, while out on camping trips. For years, Alan's ghost stories and humorous tales kept everyone huddled close to the campfire. In time, his repertoire of stories grew to include folktales and legends, as well as his own fantasy tales. He moved north to Pittsburgh in 1984, and continued to expand his repertoire and to hone his craft.
On September 18th, we will be watching Bleach 1 & Yu-Gi-Oh, the movie at the Coyle Free Library. The movies start at 1 pm. And if you get the munchies while here, we will have various appropriate movie snacks such as popcorn, gummy bears, licorice, etc.
We have started to plan teen activities at the Coyle Free Library for the fall and here is what we have so far:
September 18 @ 1pm: We will be watching Bleach 1: Memories of Nobody & Yu-Gi-Oh, the movie.
October (date to be confirmed): Ghost Stories
November 20 @ 2pm: Poker Tournament
December 11 @ 2pm: White Elephant Gift Exchange & movie

Now it will be even bigger and better as we have 4 local teen bands playing! The one band is called Revolution Moment and I will be releasing the other bands names as I get them. There is still a cost to come but it will be $5 at the door. It will be at the Grove Family Library on February 20th at 7 pm.
Also on February 20th from 11 am - 1 pm, you can show what you got at "Grove's Got Talent". This is for tweens (9 - 14 yrs old) who want to show off their talent in either music, art, fashion, magic, stand-up, and sports. You do need to sign up so call the Grove Family Library at 717-264-9663.
Another February activity is Book Bingo at Grove Family Library. This event benefits the tween group. It was very successful and a lot of fun the first time around. It is on February 5th from 6 - 8 pm.
Lastly, time to get your dancing shoes on. We will be having Disco Karaoke on February 27th at the Coyle Free Library from 2 - 4 pm.
